Three is better than one for Salina Central Tennis. The Mustangs have the rare combination of having triplets on the team.

Mallory, Claire and Addison Renfro have been really good for the Mustangs as they have all reached 100 wins throughout their career.

For Mallory Renfro, she and her sister Addison finished fifth place at state a season ago and are currently ranked number one in the state.

Renfro was introduced to Tennis at a young age.

“My dad introduced me to tennis at the early age of five,” Renfro said. “I started playing tournaments when I was around seven or eight.”

The senior and her sisters have always played tennis together which has come with their share of pros and cons.

“Some pros are that we get to practice together throughout the whole year, and we help each other get better,” Renfro said. “Also playing against each other in practice helps build our competitiveness. The only con would be that some people get us confused since we look alike.” Renfro who has took on a leadership role has all her sights set on finishing out her senior year especially with the good number of colleges she has to choose from thanks to her stellar play on the court and grades in the classroom.
